Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated value
What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.
Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

This is the ONLY plugin in WordPress’ repository capable of detecting and displaying a site visitor’s local time and time zone on the site’s frontend. Bonus: This plugin is compatible with WordPress 6.3.2 and PHP 8.3.0 (latest versions as of today). Note: If you’re having any issues using this plugin, please visit the plugin’s support forum for a solution. Kudos to the developer!

Plugin sets a cookie with the timezone of the user, which you can read for your custom coding. Works great.

Contrary to the review by davywavy, the plugin works just as is described to work. This can be tested by changing the time on your computer to be in a time zone which is in a different day. E.g., if you live in New York, change the time zone on your computer to that of Sydney. You should see the information (in the case of the example at http://prayercentral.net/devotionals/a-word-for-today/) for the next day. (Check a site like http://www.timeanddate.com/ to be sure to get a time zone which is in a different day than the one normally set on your computer.)
